Opt for a second opinion %\ &(&,/ 6&$*/,21( 0DWXUH /LIH )HDWXUHV A neighbor received a call from his doctor, notifying him that a recent test indicated he should undergo minor surgery to eliminate problematic cancer cells. He asked if he could provide another urine sample for test-
ing to confirm the diagnosis. Results of the second test revealed there was no malignancy nor need for surgery. His request for a second test is part of a habit he developed years earlier: always get a second medical opinion. It began when he was misdiagnosed as having serious nerve damage that would require surgery.
A second medical report revealed that a change in prescribed medication would solve the problem. It’s been estimated that more than half a million people die each year as a result of incorrect medical diagnoses. So go ahead: ask for a second opinion. Mature Life Features, copyright 2021

For Answers See Page 18 Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column or box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
